FIRM In THE FAITH.
A HARDSHEELL PREACHER WHO SAYS
HE HAS PLAYED MARBLES WITH
CHRIST.

CHRIST.
A Columbus, Ga, special says
Elder Brown is a Primative
Baptist preacher who now figures
as the pastor OF East Commons
Church. At first his oddity Of
preaching was regarded as being
of the "Sam Jones order" and was
considerably enjoyed. Three
| weeks ago, however, he stepped
rather beyond the line, when he
declared that he went to school
with Jesus Christ and played mar
bles with him. The majority of
the members were shocked by this
profanity and resolved to request
the reverend gentleman to tone
down or step out This ultima
tum was delivered to him on Sun
day night, and it set him in high
dudgeon. He called upon his
friends to stand by him and see to
it that the Lords Amounted was
not maltreated. Nearly one half OF
the congregation, principally wo-
men, fiocked around the preacher,
and declared their faith i'll him.
Last night the congregation
gathered in the church for the
purpose Of disposing of the mat
ter. The preacher and his friends
were there also, and for an hour
the wranglers could be heard sew
eral squares off. 1t was not until
one policeman took his stand in
the centre aisle and another took
his seat in the pulpit that the
Rev. Mr.. Brown could get a hear
ing. He defed them to get rid of
him, and declared that, at his
command, the earth would open
up and swallow them. This evil
IDENTIFY had great effect, for TO
one would go near the person OF
the preacher. It was not until
daylight that the worshippers re-
tired, only to be back there to-
night again to find the policeman
still keeping his vigil in the pull
pit.

An editor died and went to the

him with tender smile of COM

thee for not sending out a better

A Queer Story.

The queerest story of the year
comes from Minneapolis. In that
city, in a little cottage, zealously
guarded by an old lady, is the
body of Cora Stickney, a girl who
died three months ago, but whose
body is unburied. The body is
frozen hard and stiff. The girl
died on the Both of November,
was buried in Maymays cemetery
in Minneapolis. Her mother, who
is believer in the faith cure, had
the body taken from the grave and
returned to the cottage, where it
has ever since remained. She is
trying, by faith, to raise her
daughter from the deaG. A health
officer visited the cottage three
days ago, but was refused admis-
sion. The dead girls mother said
to him:
"rhe body is at present in the
house, and no longer ago than
February 14th, DR.. Palmer, OF
this city, assured me that there
were signs of animate life, and
that if he were in my place he

during his student life. The
body of d girl had been frozen
solid and carried around the coun-
try for a time, and was finally
brought to the dissecting room.
The moment he introduced his

resuscitated and finally returned
living to her parents.

Tramps in q New Role.
Sumter Republican.


Monday afternoon Marshal
Lingo and Policeman Smith were
informed that q camp of tramps
were located near the s. w. r. r.,
in the old Lyon field. They
started to interview the new colo
ny, ana on approaching the new
bridge, half a dozen tramps broke
for the swamps. They were
white and colored, Dutch, African
and poor whites. They took to
the mud, water and cane as the
only refuge at hand, and the chill
ing waves did not deter them from
escaping by that means. They
are gone, and the people feel re-
lieved.
In Preston, Sunday night, one
of them preached. He took no
text; read no bible; but expatiated
on the beauties of nature. He
had tramped both sides of the
Mississippi; had footed over $500
miles and knew nature by heart.
She was the greatest mother of
the human race-spread her gilt
tering mantle of brightness by
day, and the sparkling robe of
night over Der children in love
and protection. After o short
talk, he took up a collection and
moved from the town for other
fields of conquest. He is still
tramping on to the great future,
where his weary feet will stop,
and the lazy rascal receive the re-
ward generally accorded to such
as do not work, as the Lord has
done before him.

KickerS to the Left.

st. Peter sits out by the heaven
ly gates, his hands on the strings
of Tyre, and he sings low song
as he patiently waits for the spir-
its of those who expire. He hears,
in the distance, the chorus ofsong,
that swell at the foot of the throne,
and he smiles as tie music is
waited along, and Marbles this
lay of his crown: There is room
in this region for millions of souls,
who by sorrow and woe are bereft
It's for those who suffered the
melody rolls, but "kickcrs" must
go to the left. There is room for
the people who, when they were
young. persisted i'll sowing wild
oats, he who doomed up his city
with siuew and tongue but kick
ers must go with the goats.
There is room for the people who
pointed with pride, to the beauty
and growth of their town, who
kept singing its praises and
charms till they died, but the
kicker will please Gamble down. y
They say that the music was all
out of tune, and the angelic robes
hand-me- down, they'd send for q
ieweler off to the moon, to sample
the gold in the crowns. So, while
there is room for millions who by
sorrow aud woe were bereft, we
want no complaints of the music
that rolls, SO the "kickers" will
turn to the left.

A Chestnut from Cuthbert.

A correspondent writing from
Cuthbert rehashes railroad item,
which is regarded in this city as a
part of a scheme to frighten off
the projectors of the Columbus
southern railroad from going to
Albany. He says;
"The Birmingham, Georgia and
Florida railroad company, t through
their chosen representative, have
secretly purchased of the Talla-
hassee, Bainbride and Western
company, the old road bed known
as the cambridge, Cuthbert and
Columbus road, and propose to
build through line to be COM
pleted this year, from Dirming-
ham, Ala, to Tallahassee Fla, via
Opelika, Florence, Cuthbert and
Bainbridge. The conditions pre-
scribed are donations of the stipu-
lated sums from the counties
through which it will run from this
place to Bainoridge.--Columbus
Enquirer.
The Liberal says that $4,000 is
the amount asked of the people
of Randolph and that all but about
$500 of it has already been
subscribed. Another strong rea-
son why the people of Dawson
should do their part towards the
building of the Columbus South
ern.

A Ghost on the Bridge.
Smithville News.

Smlthville News.
A gentleman who does not want
his name to'ssappear, informs us
that on Monday night last, as be
was crossing the covered bridge,
near Smithville, in his buggy, he
noticed tall, white object just in
front OF him, and, fearing his
horse would become frightened,
he stopped and hailed. No an
swer was returned, but the tall
figure began to gesticulate wildly,
waving its white arms to and fro
and moaning piteously. A shot
from his pistol resulted in the
speedy disappearance of the ghost,
and he states that for half min
ute afterwards he heard the clat-
ter of feet doing Maud S. time
down the dirt road towards Smith

ing of the wind and the far-off
screech of the lone and loveless
owl from his home in the cypress
shadows. The ghost was a live
one, and evidently bent on mis-
chief, but the pistol shot sent him
flying. No one should ever mo-
lest real ghost. They lave to
lie in their damp graves oil day,
and only throw aside their coffin
boards and come out for q stroll
when the darkness falls like a
benediction on them. They don't

He SENT THE MONEY.
The Letter from a Dead Wife That
Was Promptly Responded to
by Her Husband.

NY her HUSBAND.
Lock HAVEN, Pa, February %.
Benjamin Harley is well-to-do
resident of Roaring Branch, this
county. He is an old man, and
is strong believer in spiritual
ism, nothing having ever been too
miraculous, if done in the name
cf spiritualism, to weaken his
faith or arouse his suspicion. He
has two sons, one wild and shift
less young man named Henry, the
other thriving citizen. The lat
ter is a partner of his fathers in
the mercantile business. Old Mr..
Harley is q widower, his wife, who
was also an enthusiastic spiritu-
alist, having died only a few weeks
ago.
The other morning old Mr..
Harley awoke and found lying on
his pillow piece of paper, fooled
and addressed to him. He open
ed it, and found that it was a let
ter purporting to come from his
dead wife. 1t was business let
ter. 1t informed Mr.. Harley that
the writer was in heaven, which
was a thoroughly practical place,
so much so that she had set up in
the millinery business. She was
just then in need of $50 to put IN
her business, and requested her
husband to enclose her that
amount. She instructed him to
put it in a letter and place the
letter in stump near the house.
Extravagant and ridiculous as
this letter was, old Mr.. Harley
did not doubt for moment that
it came from his wife. He could
not spare $50 that day, but he
wrote letter to his wife, enclos-
ing 500, and informing her that
he would send the balance in q
few days. The letter he placed
in the sCump as directed.

The Ohio Idea.

The Ohio legislature has pass
ed bill which strikes the word
white" from the laws of that
state. This leaves no restrictions
whatever between whites and
blacks in the marriage relations,
in the attendance of blacks upon
the public schools. 1t is owing
altogether how one is raised
whether the law will suit him or
not. The Ohio idea IS at enmity
with the purity and progress of
the Anglo-Sexon race. Miscega-
nation is crime, whether sane
toned by law or not, and it will
be outlawry in the south forever.

From hamlet to hamlet, from

Very few, outside the members
of the craft, have any pity for
him.
And yet, we never see him but
we think of the life he has left
behind him; of the distant home
where, perhaps, some one lives
who thinks of him and loves him:
the mother never forgets, and
whose heart keeps warm for him
no matter how cold the world is,
and the sister who. thinks of him
wistfully and wonderingly.
